A Valuable Antidote ,i Thin
^ . _ _ . _ | Q{
(Original |
' There's an old saw, 'Ah ounce of )
prevention Is worth a pouml of cure.' j ii'rV'b
I am a practical illustration of its | j,,VCpi
truth. Indeed, an ounce of fluid once ( etmric
saved my life. As a medicine? Well. \v m
no. I wasn't sick, and I hadn't been ^
polaoued. Nevertheless that ounce <" M i
. ... lame*
saved my life. \ \ s
"My father had b.ecn an o'iicer in tinT'nlteu
States navy?not when our it dm
ships had come to he big inucbine | || j.
shops, but light wooden affairs that
skintmed the waves ljJ>o a liird. lleju s iwent
aloft Just before "the struggle he- j w '/j
tween the states, nud I. being about itcii .>
sixteen nt the time, preferred t?? go into
active .service afloat rather than b> \v i i
lite Naval academy. As It was. I saw j
uothiug but blockading service, and ' k ?; i
after the war was doomed to the titer- "'|j
chant service. \v i
" This is only preliminary to what l'ui {} |j 1
going to tell you. In the last year of m w
the sixties I was mate of a I riganttae. j*>
and we were picking up goods in ports ;\ n <
on the China sea. One evening we ^
wore coming clown through the strait r K ?
of Mala<< -i when, after passing one of ^V.1"
the islands at the southern end. we j \(
saw on our port qua nor and nearly ^v'
nhre.ist of us as queer a looking little i \. t
craft as ever sat 011 the water. Site ^ (*j
wasn't a common trader, for she was \y a
shaped for speed. She wasn't a yacht: I?011
* 1 * Sam
she wasn't sleek enough for a yacht, i.em
Besides. >ho didn't carry a yachting
flag-or any flag whatever, for that \v t
matter which set our teeth to chatter- '.\J{s
lng in no time, for I never knew hut i> u
one kind of craft that didn't show
colors, and when that kind do show |mm
them they invariably hoist the skull J;
find cross hones. I t? .
"It wasn't long before we could see "j ^
that she was shnping Iter course to nar- i. r
row the distance between us, and we
shaped ours to keep apart. This didn't i< |
suit tlie suspicions vessel, and she put J J( 1
her nose closer still and before long carr
was heading right for us. Then we J, '
could see the smoke bulging out of her j u
stack, and she came through the water ^
like a present day motor boat. i. t>

" 'I don't really know, captain, lint 1 ^
suspect there's a lot of money in the |
ship, and if uuy one can Mini it 1 can.'
"'Well, hunt for it.' \\
"Since my life depended on finding ?
money, 1 hunted for my life. It was <r
dusk when I began, and 1 worked hard (l.
till 0 o'clock, when tin- captain sent \
for lite to ? ime into the cabin. He had I
a Hue dinner set lie fore him and was \
just falling to. lie asked me if 1 had *
found the treasure, and I admitted that |
1 had not.
" 'Sit down here and tell tue what j
you know about it.'
"1 concocted a yarn about a suspi- ,
clous looking box that the captain uuu
wutehed while it was being brought
aboard and made the story plausible.
I let out that I had been in the Cuited
States navy. The pirate pricked up his
ears at this and passed tne the bottle.
"An idea, a hope, a straw to eateli at!
Could 1 drink tint man drunk? I remembered
how my father when in the
navy had told me of terrible drinking
bouts between the American and British
naval officers and how a dirty, yellow
faced, pigtailcd man had pur him
on to a secret whereby he could go
through the worst bibular contest and
conic out perfectly sober. There was
a bottle of olive oil on the table?some
we had taken in at Leghorn- that the
pirate had used to make a potato salad
with. 1 clumsily knocked it over,
picked it up and with a spoon ladled
the spilled oil into my wineglass.
Then I looked for something to turn
it Into from the glass and. not seeing
anything, drank It off. My host
remarked that to do such a tiling would
make him sh k as a dog, hut took no
further notice of my act. As I had
supposed, he was a hard drinker, and
we sat pouring down one bottle after
another. Now and again I would pique
him by suggesting that lie had had
enough, whereupon he would call for a
lint Me. and I could see lie was
bent on laying 1110 out. Ills original intention
was to tind out if I really knew
anything about the ship's treasure, but
as we proceeded lie became Interested
In showing nie that he could put tue
under the table. 1 drank every time
be did, and as I did not show any effect
of the liquor the captain was astonished.
Hut he wouldn't give up. and
we drank on. L could hear sounds
frrun without. Indicating that his men
had got into our liquor and were roaring
drunk. At midnight I had the satisfaction
to see the pirate captain slide
under tlie table, while 1 was comparatively
sober.
"What was It? The olive oil I bad
drunk a second glass In the middle of
the bout, and the two sated me. I
don't know whether the oil floats on top
of the liquor and keeps the fumes from
the brain or whether it forms a coating
In the stomach that prevents the
absorption of alcohol. All I know Is 11
worked like a charm.
"I waited till there was not a sound
or a whoop on the sblp, then stole out
dropped Into a small boat and rowet
to ahore," TUEODORE G1LSEN.

perplt**,.. f oj ^ondcrful frozen
well at Yuk?TCi fy/fcf/rln. As long ago !) I
as 1828 It was announced that the
ground was frozen to an abnormal
depth at the place referred to. In tho
summer of 1820 a Russian merchant
set a gang of men to the task of ascer- J
tnining the depth of the frozen stratum.
They gave up the job after digging 11-15
some thirty feet In solidly frozen
ground. The Russian Academy of Sciences
took the matter in hand and between
1828 and 1814 dug to a depth of Rep
282 feet and then abandoned the shaft Libt
because the earth was still frozen ns jnsi
hard as a rock. Natural cold could never
penetrate to such a depth, uml the
phenomenon is still unexplained.
The Horae aa a Juniper.
A horse can certainly Jump higher
than a man. There Is at least one authentic
ease of a hunter clearing a Tip
seven foot paling, and a century or so
ago n Mr. Bingham leaped his horse
j over the wall of Hyde park, which was HO1
j six and one-half feet high on the inside
and eight feet on the outside. The
horse cleared this obstacle twice In 01
rapid succession, and we are quite cer- ?
^ tain that no man who has ever lived
could do it.?London Answers.

le men as of men that those who think ]
s. most say least. Woman's talkativeness
